Sound Off: We do need a commissioner

So sick of hearing all these people saying let the police chief do his job. He's not doing his job. Has everyone forgotten all the shootings, the robberies, the crime that has gone up in Troy? We do need a commissioner.

Paid way too much

The Rensselaer County Legislature honors the Troy High Homecoming Queen? That's great for her. But really? We pay these people to do this? They are being paid way too much.

They still go up

I'm hearing all the time the New York Lottery helps out with our school taxes but why isn't there a notation on our school tax bill and why to they go up every year.

A great idea

I'm just reading The Record and the letter to the editor about Frear Park being a place for all citizens of Troy and surrounding areas to enjoy. Frear Park should be an enjoyable place for all seasons, not just for the golfers. I agree.

Think twice

The flu shot is available in September. It takes two weeks to get into your system. For those who don't get the flu shot and get the flu it's your own negligence. Maybe you will think twice next September.

They were from Mexico

I purchased a Florida advertised strawberries for but when I got home and looked at the box it said made in Mexico. That is false advertising.

Just say peace

I also agree with the person who called in about handshaking. All you have to say is peace be with you.

He doesn't know

So, James Franco thinks that minimum wages are generally teens living with their parents or people looking to supplement their income. I don't think there are any statistics behind that and I don't think he knows what he's talking about.
